LOCATION: Leonardtown Building #239
UMPD CASE #: 2019-57001

On September 29, 2019, at approximately 8:24 p.m., 9:41 p.m., and 11:42 p.m., our Security Operations Center reported that a man was looking into windows of Leonardtown Building #239. For the first two reports, officers responded but were unable to locate the male. When officers responded for the third time, they located the male, sitting on a bench near the building. The male was interviewed by a Detective and at that time there was not enough evidence to charge the male criminally. The male was then released with an immediate denial of access to campus.
Our Criminal Investigations Unit is conducting an investigation and we are seeking our community’s help.
